Free tool · for groups
Planning a drive for your school, church, troop, or office? See what it could collect and keep out of the landfill — then we'll pick it all up free.
That's about the weight of 4 adults kept out of the landfill.
Estimates only. Assumes ~15 lbs per large bag and ~2 items per pound. CO₂ figure is a rough estimate based on the principle that reusing clothing avoids the emissions of producing new garments; actual impact varies by material and condition.

We make the logistics disappear so your group can focus on collecting. No hauling, no drop-off runs, no cost.
Choose your drive window and a place to gather bags — a classroom corner, church foyer, or office closet.
Spread the word. Everyone brings clothing, shoes, and linens in any condition — wearable or worn.
When the drive ends, we collect the whole haul from your door and pass it along to reuse and donation outlets.
A clothing drive is one of the easiest, most inclusive ways for a group to make a visible difference. Everyone has a closet with something to give, so participation is high and the barrier is low. Done right, a single drive can keep hundreds of pounds of textiles out of the landfill in a week — and give clothing a second life through reuse and recycling.
It also builds community: a friendly goal, a shared deadline, and a number to celebrate at the end. That's where this calculator helps — set a target, rally your group, and watch the pounds add up.
